		December 13th, 2000 ~ American Routes explores the music associated with outlaws and life behind bars, from "Ball and Chain" to "Jailhouse Rock," from Johnny Cash's San Quentin show to Leadbelly's "Midnight Special." Metaphorical chains of love are also rattled in story and song. Our guests include famous former inmates whose music reflects their own life struggles and triumphs, Plus a visit to the "Wildest Show in the South"--the Angola Louisiana Prison Rodeo.
